My husband and I wanted to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends who have lost their beloved John. We have lost loved ones dear to us and know the pain felt at such times. We have found the words found in God's Word to be of much comfort. For example in John 5:28,29 we read Jesus promise that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Christ Jesus demonstrated his ability and desire to do this with the resurrection of his friend Lazarus (John 11:11-44). We can imagine what a joyous occasion it was for his family, to be reunited with him. We also have the hope found in Revelation 21:3,4 and Isaiah 25:8, where it says that death will be done away with forever. We sincerely hope that these and other scriptures bring you the comfort and hope that they have us. Please continue to look to the "God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) and to those around you during this time. Again, we are so sorry for your loss.
With Sincere Sympathy,
Becky Lynn
